Group Rides
We will have several group rides this year, including all the favourites from previous years such as the pancake ride and the pizza ride. New this year we are planning an overnight camping trip. The plan is to leave the Pines via bike and ride to Turkey Point, camp for the night and ride back the following day. We have booked a group campsite for TBD at the Turkey Point Provincial Park. Here’s the details:
– Room for the first 30 people who sign up
– There will be a van going to take food, tents, and gear and act as technical support along the way. There will only be room for food and gear, no extra bikes please.
– If you are interested please RSVP to the club at woodstockcyclingclub@gmail.com, put “Camping Trip” in the subject line. More details to follow.

Trail Days
We are planning a number of trail days this year to support both trail construction and maintenance. There are a number of exciting additions and changes planned and we need lots of help to make them a reality. All trail changes are submitted to the Upper Thames Conservation Authority for approval prior to construction. This year we are planning the following as trail building.

Trail build days will be focused on creation of new trails, trail features, etc. on a specific section of trail or new trail area. Trail maintenance days will be focused on mowing grass, trimming branches, leaf blowing, etc. We need lots of help for both activities, so look ahead and pick the days that work for you. All work is weather dependant, look to Facebook and Twitter if you are not sure if the day is a “go.” Everyone is welcome to come and help out. Please let us know if you are coming by emailing the club at woodstockcyclingclub@gmail.com. Watch the web site and Facebook for more details.
